LEB(i)
1 I am a rose* of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 Like a lily among the thorns,* so is my love among the maidens.
3 As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. In his shade ⌊I sat down with delight⌋,* and his fruit was sweet to my palate.
4 He brought me to the house of the wine, and his intention was love toward me.
5 Sustain me with the raisins, refresh me with the apples, ⌊for I am lovesick⌋.*
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces* me.
7 I adjure you, ⌊O maidens of Jerusalem⌋,* by the gazelles or by the does of the field, do not arouse or awaken love until it pleases!*
8 The voice of my beloved! Look! Here ⌊he⌋* comes leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills!
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or ⌊a young stag⌋.* Look! ⌊He is⌋* standing behind our wall, gazing ⌊through⌋* the window, looking ⌊through⌋* the lattice.
10 My beloved answered and said to me, "⌊Arise⌋,* my beloved! ⌊Come, my beauty⌋!*
11 For look! The winter is over; ⌊the rainy season⌋* ⌊has turned and gone away⌋.*
12 The blossoms ⌊appear⌋* ⌊in the land⌋;* ⌊the time of singing* has arrived⌋;* the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth her figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give fragrance. ⌊Arise⌋,* my beloved! ⌊Come, my beauty⌋!"*
14 My dove, in the clefts of the rock, ⌊in the secluded place⌋** ⌊in the mountain⌋,** Let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.
15 Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes destroying vineyards, for* our vineyards are in blossom!
16 ⌊My beloved belongs to me and I belong to him⌋;* he pastures his flock among the lilies.
17 Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved! ⌊Be like⌋* a gazelle* or ⌊young stag⌋* on the cleft mountains.*
